Giant TCR Advanced T-Mobile Team Bike Review
Written by drbob on March 28, 2010 – 9:24 pm -By Jez Loftus, BikeRadar The TCR Advanced T-Mobile Team is Giant's no compromise road race machine and gets its mouthful of a name from being the choice ride for the German pro team. Built with nothing but all-out performance in mind the Advanced Team is light, stiff and fast. At £4150, it's almost identical to the bike the pros ride but unless you're paid to race do you really need one? Will it make you a faster rider, or simply make you look like an all-the-gear-no-idea poseur? The fact that the TCR Advanced isn't your average versatile, performance road bike makes it even more appealing. The T-Mobile colours, only minutely adjustable (2cm), one cut, one fit seatmast and compact, stiff frame make it a unique bike. The ride is hard to describe... more

Giant TCR Advanced SL 2 Review
Written by drbob on February 7, 2010 – 5:22 pm -Giant TCR Advanced SL 2 Frame Technology Experience the one-of-a-kind ride quality of Giant’s unique Alliance technology, which blends the best characteristics of both composite and aluminum. You get amazing power transfer for the sprints and a supple ride for long days in the saddle. Features - Complete 10-speed SRAM RIVAL (black) groupset - Lightweight Giant Connect SL handlebar and stem - Fi’zi:k Pave CX saddle - Lighter Mavic CXP22 wheelset Review We have to break out the superlatives for this out-of-the-box racer. It's the lightest and stiffest frame that Giant has ever produced—the same one (albeit without the integrated seat mast) that was ridden to more pro wins last year than any other bike. Granted, the SL 2 is hung with a... more

Giant Trinity Alliance Review
Written by drbob on November 16, 2009 – 10:14 pm -By Mat Brett The Trinity Alliance is the middle option in the triathlon range from Taiwanese giants Giant, sitting between the aluminium framed Trinity (£1200) and the tricked-out carbon composite Trinity Advanced (£3250). The Alliance splits the difference with a frame that fuses carbon and aluminium. A female-specific version is available too – the Aeryn Alliance W (£2000). Ride & Handling: steady rather than super speedy With an all-up weight of 9.2kg the Giant is a little portly, but while it's not lightning-quick out of the blocks, it accelerates just fine. Those deep tubes hold the bottom bracket good and tight so when you’re jumping up and down on the cranks to wind up the speed, all your effort is converted straight into... more
